10 Mar 2023video Who was Imam Malik and where did he come from? Imam Malik was born in Madinah around 93 AH into an Arab family of Himyarite origin, with a Companion great-grandfather and a grandfather among the tabi'un. LessonImam MalikHimyarQahtanAdnan machine5 min 36 s1:06on YouTube
28 Oct 2020video Did God really command Ibrahim to sacrifice his son? No: in Mufti Abu Layth's reading the command did not come from God, and the Quran in Surah al-Saffat only reports that Ibrahim saw a dream and that his son urged him to act on it. The notion of sacrificing a son is traced to the culture of the ancient Near East.

26 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Does khatam al-nabiyyin mean the last prophet or the best prophet? The guest understands khatam al-nabiyyin as the last prophet, since the Quran addresses all people until the end of the world, and says the Quran gives the time of the end of the world.

8 Jul 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran Is the story of Hajar running seven times between Safa and Marwa true? Mufti Abu Layth thinks the story of Hajar running seven times between Safa and Marwa was most likely added later to give the ritual an Abrahamic link, though he believes the Zamzam story is true. The Quran mentions Safa and Marwa only as a remembrance of God, without linking them to Hajar or Abraham.

8 Jul 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran Did the Prophet restore the original rituals of Ibrahim at the Kaaba? No: nothing was in Makkah when Ibrahim arrived, and although he and Ismail built the house of remembrance, Safa and Marwa are never linked to him. The Quran presents them only as symbols for remembering God, so there is no point guessing at older origins.
